Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha conceded that his side was found wanting in every aspect of the game in its Asia Cup Super 4 clash against India here with batting being particularly difficult after the first 10 overs. Pakistan, after scoring 91 runs in the first 10 overs, could only manage 80 in the next 10 after Shivam Dube bowled a fantastic three-over spell in which he got two wickets and gave away only 16 runs. "The batting was a lot better today, and that's a positive. The way our start was, we could have scored 15 more (overall). But when the ball goes soft after 10 overs, it's not as easy to bat," Salman said after the six-wicket loss here on Sunday night. "...we didn't bowl as well in the powerplay and got punished. But our start should have ensured that we scored 180," he added. Salman also admitted that his bowlers could not handle the flying start that the Indians were off to in a tricky chase of 172.
